senate.
WASHINGTON. January 14.-Mr. ingalls,
introduced bill granting arrears in GER
tain cases to those pensiOned by special
acts.
Mr.. Cullom moved to proceed to the
consideration of the conference report on
the interstate commerce bill.
Agreed to--yeas, g. nays. IL. The
nays were Messrs. Blair, Cameron, Chace,
Cheney, Frye, Hawley, Hoar, Morrill,,
Sawyer, Sewell Sherman, and Spooner.
Mr. Sewel, from the conference COM
mittee on the bill making the annual ap-
preparation TO furnish arms and equip
ments for the militia, made report ire
ducing the appropriation from 5000, 900
to $400, 0,000), which was agreed TO.
The Senate then. at 1910 o'clock, re-
sumed the consideration Of the inter State
commerce bill, and was addressed by Mr..
HOar.
He then proceeded to state his objec-
tions to certain features OF the confer
ence report, which he regarded as an at
tempt to strike down healthy competition.
He said that the objection to the fourth
and fifth sections of the bill was that the
one NtHt IOH8 anu SuOlt maui oSStiVhI
would destroy the cheapness of 'ranspor-
tation on which that commerce depended,
and the other (the pooling section) would
destroy the steadiness of the business by
putting it out of the power of the rail-
roads TO prevent railroad wars and con-
slant fuctuation, which was the destruc-
liOn of trade. The objection did not
come from the railroad men who wanted
to put up rates, but from the customers
of the railroads who wanted to put them
down and keep them down.
After Mr. Hoar concluded his speech
Mr.. Sherman took the floor at 2:30 in
favor of recommitting the interstate
commerce bill
